Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Cirrhosis remains a major global health burden, with its complications significantly impacting morbidity, mortality, and healthcare systems. This Special Issue will provide a comprehensive overview of the latest advances in prognosis, risk stratification, and clinical management in cirrhosis and its complications, including portal hypertension, ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, hepatorenal syndrome, acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), and hepatocellular carcinoma. A concomitant focus will be placed on the liver transplantation setting, including criteria, patient assessments, and the refinement of follow-up strategies. In addition, we welcome contributions discussing the impact of cirrhosis on patients’ quality of life, exploring how chronic symptoms, comorbidities, and treatment influence overall well-being.
We invite the submission of original research articles, reviews, and clinical perspectives addressing emerging diagnostic tools, biomarkers, novel therapeutic strategies, and multidisciplinary approaches to optimizing patient outcomes. In particular, papers should address challenges faced in individualized treatment, the prevention of disease progression, and the management of comorbidities.
This Special Issue will serve as a valuable resource for hepatologists and all healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients with cirrhosis. By bringing together cutting-edge research articles and expert insights, we aim to advance clinical practice and improve patient prognoses.
Dr. Ana-Maria Singeap
Guest Editor
